<h3><strong>Ingredients</strong></h3>
<ul type="disc">
<ul type="circle">
<li>3 tablespoons olive oil</li>
<li>1 chopped medium onion</li>
<li>3 cloves minced garlic&nbsp;<em>(If you&rsquo;re a real garlic lover, use four cloves, but as with the soup recipe, use real garlic, not what you find in little jars.)</em></li>
<li>&frac34; cup bread crumbs</li>
<li>8 ounces pork sausage&nbsp;<em>(Mild is perfect, but if you want to add a bit of zip, use medium)</em></li>
<li>1 bulb fennel, trimmed and minced</li>
<li>2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme</li>
<li>2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary&nbsp;<em>(If you want to use dried thyme and rosemary, go ahead, but use less than you would with fresh. Ideally? Use the fresh stuff!)</em></li>
<li>3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (Never use the juice in the yellow plastic lemon!)</li>
<li>Salt and pepper to taste</li>
<li>1 pork shoulder&nbsp;<em>(Ask the butcher to butterfly a boneless pork loin. Then all you need to do I untie and roll it.)</em></li>
<li>2 cups dry white wine&nbsp;<em>(It doesn&rsquo;t have to be an expensive wine but don&rsquo;t cook with it if you wouldn&rsquo;t drink it!)</em></li>
</ul>

Reduce oven temperature to 350&deg;F and continue roasting for 1 &frac12; to 2 more hours. (Toward the end of the roasting pan, use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. It should reach 160&deg;.)</li>
<li>Remove the roast from the oven and place on a platter. (The roast will cook just a bit more.) Wait about 10 minutes before carving into thick slices. Serves 6 to 8.</li>
</ul>
